Nairobi — The International Criminal Court prosecutor Louis Moreno-Ocampo is currently holding a meeting with Kenya principals President Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
The closed door meeting at Harambee House meeting started shortly after 11 a.m and is expected to deliberate on ways of dealing with the post election violence suspects.
Also present at the meeting are: Attorney General Amos Wako and Cabinet ministers Mutula Kilonzo, Moses Wetangula and James Orengo.
He will then hold a news conference at 1 p.m at Serena Hotel, Nairobi.
Earlier, Mr Ocampo arrived at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport at 7.30 a.m Thursday and he was immediately whisked away to the Windsor Hotel, where he will stay during his three-day visit.
He is in the country to seek justice for the suspects of the post election violence.
Mr Ocampo's visit follows the government's failure to set up a local judicial mechanism to try post-election violence suspects.
A government delegation to The Hague in July had committed itself to a September 30 deadline to set up the local tribunal failure to which it would refer the cases to the ICC.
Mr Ocampo is expected to ask the two principals to refer the cases to the ICC.
He will also be seeking their commitment that they will fully cooperate with his office in the process, which may lead to the arrest of several prominent Kenyans including Cabinet ministers and businesspeople.
